Patent number: 10289720Abstract: Systems and methods for information retrieval are provided that permit users and/or processing entities to access and define synthetic data, synthetic objects, and/or synthetic groupings of data in one or more collections of information. In one embodiment, data access on an information retrieval system can occur through an interpretation layer which interprets any synthetic data against data physically stored in the collection. Synthetic data can define virtual data objects, virtual data elements, virtual data attributes, virtual data groupings, and/or data entities that can be interpreted against data that may be stored physically in the collection of information. The system and methods for information retrieval can return results from the one or more collections of information based not only on the data stored, but also on the virtual data generated from interpretation of the stored data.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2016Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Adam Ferrari, Joshua William Kapell, Jason Furtado, Matthew L. Brandwein, Spiro Michaylov, Omri Traub, Vladimir Zelevinsky, John Huffaker

Patent number: 7617184Abstract: A data-driven, hierarchical information navigation system and method enable search of sets of documents or other materials by certain common attributes that characterize the materials. The invention includes several aspects of a data-driven, hierarchical navigation system that employs this navigation mode. The navigation system of the present invention includes features of an interface, a knowledge base and a taxonomy definition process and a classification process for generating the knowledge base, a graph-based navigable data structure and method for generating the data structure, World Wide Web-based applications of the system, and methods of implementing the system. Users are able to search or browse a particular collection of documents by selecting desired values for the attributes.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2001Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Assignee: Endeca Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Adam Ferrari, David Gourley, Keith Johnson, Frederick Knabe, Andrew Lau, Vinay Mohta, Daniel Tunkelang, John Walter
